Figure of the Day has updated once again! The daily feature on figures you might have but might not-- either way, here's what you've been missing! Spanning from the original Power of the Force series of 1995 to the latest of The Legacy Collection, it's almost like a history lesson!

Today we look at the Sora Bulq Jedi Knight action figure, first (and only) released in 2006. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Finally, Hasbro announced some new stuff. Here's what's up for pre-order, including new Vintage figures and the big AT-AT!

These new items are expected in or around August of this year. Most of these were shown at New York Toy Fair, so we've been waiting a while for these ones.

Over the weekend, a ton of new toys were revealed, announced, and put up for pre-order. The first batches of new stuff are on the way, finally! Here are some pictures from our corporate overlords at Entertainment Earth.

What's new? New Revenge of the Fallen: Pursuit of the Decepticons items, big Power Core Combiners sets as well as smaller ones, and some swell War for Cybertron and Generation 1-themed toys from the Transformers Generations toy line.

The Bludgeon redeco is actually Banzai-Tron. We're pretty excited for a lot of this stuff.

Today we look at the Pit Droid figure which used to be worth a small fortune-- literally a couple hundred bucks. And then Hasbro rereleased them in a 2-pack for about seven bucks. Which, well, we're happy to see because it was pretty tough to get. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

If you like your shooters with robotic sea life, this quasi-confirmation of a US release of Darius Burst should come as a piece of good news. The Japanese release last year seemed to do OK so we're quite pleased we don't need to spring for the import, although we're not sure when to expect this one to show up over here.

Gaming superstore NCS has a picture of a Playstation 1 controller not yet released outside Japan, and here's the thing-- it's tiny. The "pocket analog controller" is a dual-shock compatible (but about half the size) controller that can be used on either of the first two Playstations. As fans of strange controllers, this one is neat just because a) it's tiny and b) it looks almost exactly like Nintendo's Classic Controller for the Wii.

There are five downloadable games this week. These include: BLOONS, Sokomania, 1001 Crystal Mazes Collection, Bounce & Break, and Crazy Golf. Most are $5/500 points, or less. Crazy Golf (pictured) sounds interesting, as it seems to involve things like pencils and paper airplanes. It seems like some freak Mac shareware project from the 1980s.

Today we look at the IG-88 figure from a few lines ago. At the time, it was quite the improvement-- but has been lapped a few times over by the "vintage" version. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Today we look at the Dllr Nep figure from about a month ago. It was slated to be a Wal-Mart item... and then it became an online exclusive. And here it is. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

June 15, 2010. That's the day that, according to Prefix Magazine, the new Devo album will hit. It'll be called "Something for Everyone" and it's the one you're currently voting on as to what songs will make the cut.

If you're anything like us, your controller of choice during the NES days was the NES Max. It's also possible you, like us, thought it was developed by Ascii like the NES Advantage. Nope! Turns out the original Famicom release of the controller was made by Bullet-Proof Software and was called BPS Max. We know this because NCS has a bunch of them for sale in the original packaging, and it's quite the nifty thing to feast one's eyes on.

Real or fake, some really cool new Godzilla design pictures are up and they do seem to be the next step beyond the last generation of the big green guy. Take a look! If real, they certainly seem like they would inspire some great toys.

A bunch of outlets including Reuters say that the Planet of the Apes prequel called Rise of the Apes is coming to theaters in June 2011. Supposedly it's a total reimagining of the ape uprising, as awesomely portrayed in the classic Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. We don't expect it to be as cool, but we'll see it.

Sure all of the music has likely been replaced, but the DVDs for Daria: The Complete Series hit May 11. 8 DVDs, so odds are it'll be a little compressed, but SRP is $70 and it seems the going rate is closer to $47. That's a lot of TV for $47, even if the Buffalo Daughter and Mothers of Invention tracks may be removed.

Today we look at the Sandtrooper figure from the Evolutions line and, later, Saga Legends. It's a pretty good one-- but is it good enough? Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

On Friday we went to Burger King for lunch-- as is the way of our people-- and snagged a "Construct N Play Iron Man" which gives you the parts to build a 7-inch Iron Man figure. It's worth it as a kid's meal toy, if you just want a nifty Iron Man for your desk at the office this is about as good as you can hope for, but it clearly doesn't hold a candle to the likes of a Toy Biz or Hasbro figure. Basically you plug in the arms and legs, and press the triangle to make it fall to pieces. It's not much of a plaything, but as cheap display pieces go it works.

On eBay there's a (very expensive) first look at the G.I. Joe Pursuit Of Cobra 2010 DOOM Cycle in its box-- which is a nice box. The new Dreadnok looks a but more modern than we'd like, but hey, we like goofy. Check it out.

Today we look at the Jar Jar Binks figure which wasn't even good at the time. It's not common for a new character to come out and for fans to go "what really, already?" Plus it was a step down to boot. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Months after various Jurassic Park-branded Joe molds hit the web (with no official announcement still), Toy Ark has some shots of a new helicopter with a small dinosaur and, well, you do the math. Odds are these will make more noise later this year.

A small official gallery of Botcon G2 Clench is amazing. Look at it! Do you have anything this cool? Probably not.

A really slick ad for this year's show is up on YouTube and it's a very well-made, slick piece of quasi-1990s CG. Unlike the other ads they've done, it's kinda not funny. But hey, it's really nicely done.

Also, final color pics for the Bruticus combiner enhancement kits are on Fansproject and seem rather well done. As items this expensive should be.

Full games this week include World Of Outlaws Sprint Cars for $19.99, and it's not as neat as what you can get at retail.

More importantly: Atlus' English localization of 3D Dot Game Heroes has hit some US stores for $39.99. Yes, we bought it. Toys "R" Us put it out "early" and you may be able to find it now. We were in a rush and got to try a few minutes of it, but it is indeed swell and/or bitchin'.

Best Buy has the complete series on DVD down to $27.50, and many stores are completely sold out of it. The web site is taking backorders, which may be worth your trouble given that this is a lot of cartoon for the money.

Today we look at the Sandtrooper figure from Wal-Mart's Dewback last year. So far it's an exclusive, and a fairly remarkable new version of the popular trooper. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Today we look at the Padme Amidala (Ilum) figure from a few years ago, the first attempt at the Clone Wars snow costume. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

A number of sites including Joystiq have news and info for Konami's new iPhone game Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night. It's Symphony of the Night sprites in a Puzzle Fighter clone. Were it for any console or handheld that wasn't the iPhone, we'd be all over it.

A list of next week's May 17th MattyCollector.com sale items is up! Highlights: Optikk, Walter Peck, Tytus, and a Mer-Man reissue. In case you were curious, these items will sell out before you can get to them.

Today we look at the BARC Trooper figure from the 2008 Order 66 packs and, later, Saga Legends. The kids loved this one! Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

On Botcon's site, there are now official images of G2 Sky-Bite and he looks pretty swell. He's an Energon Sharkticon repaint with a new head, and the final of 5 figures in the set. Also interesting: he's a Predacon!

...and at press time, Botcon registration is not available. But the show is in about a month.

Official shots are making the rounds of Orko in his packaging! Poe Ghostal posted the shots and we're pleased to see Orko has a slightly more ornate backstory than "Trollan Spaz." Although it does sound a little bit like Futurama. From the package back:

After the rise of the Horde Empire, evil again outweighed the forces of good in the five dimensions. So in every generation, a Cosmic Warrior was recruited by the Overlords of Trolla to fight against evil. Each was given the Sword of He, a weapon infused with the Power of the Universe. They were also assigned a Trollan guide to watch over and advise them in their quests. On the planet of Eternia, after five centuries of being split in two, the Trollan Power Sword was at long last joined and bequeathed to an heir worthy of itıs power ­ Prince Adam of the royal household. Orko, a member of the Trollan magical elite, was assigned to watch over Adam. Although he was a powerful mage on Trolla, the hidden mystic properties of Eternia turned his magic into little more than entertaining tricks, which he uses to entertain his friends and remain undercover.

There are only five dimensions because everyone knows the ruler of the Sixth Dimension is King Fausto.

This auction is over but you can still see the images for the upcoming Quick Kick figure. This isn't the first "modern" one as a previous version was in the DVD packs from a couple of years back, and was pretty good if we do say so.

Today we look at the 181st Squadron TIE Pilot figure is essentially what Baron Fel should have looked like. It's a 2004 pilot with new coloring-- and it's nice. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Hot damn! The Botcon 2010 Set Box Art has been revealed, and it is gorgeous. The pinks! The yellows! The explosions! Truly, this is the box of the year of the week. Check it out, and cross your fingers we get a wallpaper of this one.

Did you forget to order Optikk and Tytus yesterday? Well, too damn bad because Mattycollector sold through in under 20 minutes. At press time, the Mer-Man reissue is still available, as is Walter Peck from Ghostbusters. Who should be available for a while.

Four games this week. Choose from Looksley's Line Up for $5/500 points and/or Frogger Returns for the same price. If you're cheap, you can get A Topsy Turvy Life: Turvy Drops and/or Flips: More Bloody Horowitz for $2/200 points each.

Thundercats are coming back! Check out this press release confirming that our long wait was for statues, and not actual toys. Icon Heroes is making "Staction Figures" and you may recall that's what NECA billed its figure-sized statues of Masters of the Universe as when the Mattel 2002 line folded hard. Hard Hero was already producing large, higher-end statues, so we have to assume these are going to be cheaper consumer-grade items for $20-$30. It's unfortunate Mattel didn't get it, this is a Matty-friendly line if we've ever seen one. We mean, seriously, who cares if they're doing vehicle replicas if you can't put figures in the damned things?

...we used James Lipton because he wrote the Thundercats theme song. Really.

Today we look at the Antares Draco figure from 2008's comic pack line. He was a slower seller, so you might even be able to find him today. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

First up: new blind box shots! Check out The Brothers Brick and/or Brickset for a glimpse at these awesome new releases for later this year.

New Advent calendars were revealed, confirming the naked showering Santa Claus is indeed coming and we hope you pre-ordered yours now. A Castle set is also on the way and if history is any indication, it will not receive significant wide release in the USA.

Today we look at the Asajj Ventress figure the 2008 comic pack line. She came with a dud of a sidekick, but as comic versions of Asajj go she's pretty good. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Today we look at the R2-D2 (Dagobah) figure from the Jedi Training on Dagobah Battle Pack. He looks like he had a little accident. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Also exciting is ToyHobby Unicron, which is head #2. He has a movie-based head, and is repainted to look like the film. It is, of course, the Armada Unicron body, but painted in a old-timey way for a price closer to $110 US. It is expected to be a low, made-to-order run, so we're currently waffling on what to do here. If you love us, you'll buy us one. We don't know if we love us enough yet given the many Unicron toys we already have in our offices.

Third time is the charm! Fox is giving Craig Kilborn a new show in under 10 markets-- but they're pretty good markets. The Kilborn File sounds kinda like Chelsea Lately with its panels and whatnot, only it won't be on as much and Matt Braunger will likely not be on it. But we thought you'd like to know this tidbit, so there you are. Also, we needed a filler story.

Today we look at the Plo Koon figure from the Legacy line last year! He has way more than you ever thought you would need in this figure. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

We've mentioned these in passing before, but these Guylos Zoids on Flickr were too neat to not show you again. Twin Horn, Malder, Iguanus, Molga, Gator, and Wardick were all cast in black and ridiculously bright green plastics, and we simply must find a way to get them. Check them out!

Today we look at the Clone Trooper (Space Gear) figure. Take a basic Clone body, add a bunch of stuff, and paint to taste. The end result? Pretty dang swell. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

It's Bug! And you were hoping for a new character. The 2010 Unicron page has updated with shots of the planet mode and Unicron's little buddy, Bug. That was also his name in Micron Legend over in Japan, so... more of the same. Check out Bug and Unicron's planet mode, and then be upset every importer is pre-sold out of this item like we are.

Four games this week. Choose from Advanced Circuits for $5/500 points and/or World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em for the same price. If you're cheap, you can get Advanced Circuits for $2/200 points and right folks with $8/800 points can get Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper.

Kotobukiya is cranking out this Mega Man Model Kit for about $30. You have to build it and everything, but it's super-articulated and about 5-inches tall-- so basically everything you'd want in a Revoltech figure, for example, except it's going to gobble up more of your time to make it.

For fans of his style of comedy, you'll be happy to know David Cross released the CD Bigger & Blackerer this week. It has a poster in it, apparently, and we're told it's pretty good so far. Check iTunes or your local better record shops, assuming you have any left.

Today we look at the Red Leader Garven Dreis figure the now-legendary Scramble on Yavin Battle Pack. Not only is he super-articulated, but he's short still for this second release. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

Today we look at the Battle Droid (Orange) figure from the 30th Anniversary line (and later Legacy)! We also added Wes Janson, and he does look a little goofy. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!
